Does Exalted stack on infect? And if so would Phyresis be good in this deck? deck:tourmenting-their-souls Thanks!
Sorry, I guess what I was ineffectively trying to ask is: Would a creature deal more infect counters if he gains more power, or would he still only deal one -1/-1 counter? Say I put Phyresis on Vampire Nighthawk , would he deal 2 -1/-1 counters or only one? And from that, would Phyresis be good in my deck? Sorry I'm a noob and I hanv't figured out all of the mechanics yet :P Thanks!

A creature with infect puts -1/-1 counters on a defending creature equal to its power. Instead of doing damage, it places counters (one for each damage that it would have dealt if it didn't have infect) on that creature instead.
If a creature with infect hits a player, that player gets poison counters equal to the power of the infect creature that hit them.

I wouldn't use Phyresis in that deck. Exalted decks are easy enough to stop and adding a few Auras that give a completely alternate win-condition at the expense of taking away from your primary win-con would just be bad.

I'm not suite sure what you mean to ask. Exalted stacks in the sense that one creature attacking will cause all of its controller's exalted abilities to trigger. Infect does not interfere with this process; it's the same method as if it were a noninfect creature getting buffed.
